A Community Mandate

Help Outreach Taos demands action be taken to improve safety around The Taos Gorge Bridge. In order to bring transparency to the public and hold responsible parties accountable, we have created a new repository website:

Taos Gorge Bridge: A Timeline of Suicide Prevention Efforts

This site serves to illustrate a history of a persistent, fatal issue in our community, which, even through years of efforts, we have seen no meaningful solutions implemented. Check out the site above to view the “New Road Map for the Gorge Bridge Community Mandate”.

Our Mission

To reduce the stigma surrounding suicide in our community and provide support and resources for those in need.

Our goal is to help our community develop their skill set and add to their toolbox, so they feel confident in engaging with community members who may be in crisis.

We aim to accomplish this through education and training, collaborating with community partners, and centralizing resources for those in need of support.

H.O.T is participating at this years Summit!

Right after I took the MHFA course, I was faced with a youth/teen in crisis and contemplating suicide. I was able to have a productive and caring conversation with this person.  I felt like I was confident to offer suggestions to assist in their problem solving and finding correct resources to recommend. I would never have had the resources or the confidence to make this difference if I hadn’t taken the course.
